Antenatal Class - Lesson 1 Physical & Mental Preparation

I just went for my first Antenatal Class yesterday. Dear wasn't with me cos he had to go KL this weekend to familiarize himself with the office. He has preview seminar there next Sat. Poor me felt so lonely there...

We learned some antenatal exercise - pelvic floor exercise, pelvic tilt, back, abdominal, chest, hands, leg raises, ankle rotation exercises to keep the blood circulating in the legs.

When we are pregnant, we only need an additional 200 calories per day. When we are breastfeeding,we'll need an additional 500 calories per day. The best thing is we can eat more & lose weight at the same time during breastfeeding. Isn't that cool?
